RE: Skeleton Subs are Useless?by (no login)Well you've gotta admit that subs which you cannot pass a value to or share any data with are of very little use. Although it is tempting to waste my time writing a "fun?" program that passes data via an open file handle just for kicks ;) "But I do not understand; if you are just porting QB code to C*, why do you need to manually handle memory allocation for Subs?" That's a good question. Actually passing most data to subs is a very easy process, especially simple variables which are passed by their offset, an this is done in the standard C method. QB arrays are far more complex "beasts" which if defined within the sub need to be allocated and freed using other means. The main reason I'm making slow program on this is because I'm focusing on something else for QB64 atm. Return to Index |

| QB 7.1 has a BYVAL statement, maybe QB64 could use that | qbguy on Feb 6 |
